I was looking forward to seeing a danish take on the western genre, turned out to be an uninspired and poorly executed film. What a waste of good talent, especially Mads Mikkelsen.
The only thing different about The Salvation is some light danish dialogue, everything plot related has not only been done before but it has done better.
Some scenes look gorgeous but like the plot the visuals only get worse as the movie goes on. The quick cuts between real and fake smoke and fire is very jarring especially when it goes on for so long. The gun and blood effects aren't top notch either but unlike the CGI they're not completely unbelievable.
